Spring Silk Kill

The gentlest craftsmanship hides the most deadly secrets. Three years ago, the Shen family, a well-known Shu embroidery family, was copied and beheaded for a piece of "Phoenix Luo" longevity embroidery, and the embroidery workshop was burned to the ground. Twelve-year-old Shen Yunzhi was pushed out by her aunt in the fire. From then on, she became anonymous and lived under the shelter of others with a trembling left hand. Three years later, blood oozed from six embroidery shops in Jinguan City at the same time, and the woman with the embroidered face shed tears - the "blood embroidery case" alarmed the government and the public, and panicked Sichuan. Shen Yunzhi knew that the Blood and Tears Acupuncture Technique was the Shen family's lost "Hidden Acupuncture Technique". The murderer who destroyed the family is back. She packed her bags, changed her name to Su Jin, returned to the capital as a Suzhou embroiderer, and entered the most remote and low-class embroidery workshop in the Weaving Department. On the first day after entering the workshop, she found Canmian Powder in the tribute silk handkerchief - exactly the same poison that was used in the Shen family's poison line back then. Someone is using the same hands to hide the poison in the embroidery and send it to the palace. The old dyer in the dyehouse died suddenly and mysteriously after discovering that "the color was wrong." The picture of birds facing the phoenix in front of Liuyunfang was embedded with her grandfather's unique secret message. Xie Huai'an, the young eunuch of the Weaving Department who sneaked in late at night, had old scars behind his ears and the smell of ink on his body. He tore away the evidence, but held her trembling hand the next day and asked her in a low voice - "My left hand is shaking. Is it an old injury or a heart disease?" Is he friend or foe? Who is using the Shen family's special skills to kill people? An old case of killing a family, an embroidery poisonous thread, behind it are entangled the royal family's secret war and the huge interests of the Weaving Department. Chen Yun weaves and hides the needle in embroidery, using the needle as a blade. What she wants to weave through is all the deceptions under the embroidery of Manchu Dynasty. And when she finally revealed her hidden needle technique to the world, she realized that her grandfather's legacy was never to keep secrets, but to share skills.
